Silverlight 4 includes a new feature that allows developers build rich applications easier and faster without using third party controls.
One interesting feature is the Drag and Drop functionality. Through the following lines I will show how to implement this functionality, dragging files from the desktop right into the Silverlight application.
1. Add a stack panel where the files will be dropped:
Pay attention to the highlighted StackPanel attributes:

b. Drop is used t...

It is striking how many people agree that a fundamental key for successful businesses is communication. But when cutting costs becomes the priority through offshoring, communication gets lost along the way.
What if I tell you that you can cut costs the same way and keep clear-cut communication as if you were working with your onshore team? The solution is nearshore software development.
One of the most important benefits that nearshoring offers is same time zone. Many people don’t give it the importance it demands when choosing between nearshore and offshore services and then they’re suffering because of difficulty in communication, ineffective business hours trying to co...

There are a small number of countries who have the same relationship as Mexico and the United States. Due to their shared border, trade and demography, these two countries enjoy a convenient relationship for outsourcing. Also they have some sort of degree of cultural proximity which isn’t enjoyed with other countries like Asian ones. And those are excellent reasons for considering Mexico as an option for nearshore software development services.
Cultural proximity is defined as the relationship between two markets that have a high level of cultural similarity.
None the less, differences can’t be ignored. It would be wrong for me to say that Mexican and American cultur...

In the business world, nearshore outsourcing, or simply, nearshoring, refers to the use of another business for certain activities that are close to home. In other words, it is the same thing as traditional outsourcing, only the companies that are being outsourced to, are in a close vicinity to the country in which the company that hired them is located. For example, suppose a small software development firm in the US wants to find another company for IT outsourcing purposes. It would not be unheard of in this particular industry to outsource that type of work to India or China. If the US based company instead goes with a company from Mexico, then that would be an example of nearsho...
